Relic: Your progress on the Grind.

[LaylaTsarra]

The Crystal Sand is the easy part, getting the Umbrite is the real grind. Currently I am 8/20 and will wait before deciding how to infuse any of it.

[KrenianKandos]

Got to I think 12/240 last night. The Sand will be the easy part and the Umbrite will be the grind, honestly.

At 3 points, 240, that's 80 Umbrites. At 300 a pop, that's 24000 Eso tomes.

And I haven't seen any other place selling Umbrites. So get to that Eso tome grinding!

EDIT: I will say that you can get lucky and get 4 or 5 points instead of the typical 3. Will reduce the Eso requirement but aim to the most unfortunate luck and when you get the bonus, it'll be a happy moment instead.

It's going to be a long road but hey, that's the point of this relic anyway.

I am up to 27 points on my relic and not once have I gotten anything more than 3.

How hilarious that the developers make all these ways to obtain crystal sand, but then make an extra item requirement (umbrite) to upgrade one sand. So before the patch, they preach they listened to us and added a wide variety of ways to obtain the sand, which is great. Then they completely negate all of that with umbrite, in which the only way you can get it unless someone corrects me, is 300 eso per. Seriously, what is this? You made this a really tiring grind.

I could name several places you can add umbrite:
-CT weekly
-Treasure Maps
-Aquapolis
-Hunts (Centurio Seals, most people are sitting on them currently)
-Poetics

You had more opportunities to make some content relevant again and as usual, you blow it. I can't believe having umbrite only be through eso's made it through the decision making process.

SE, not asking you to hand them to us on a silver platter, but you really need to add more ways to obtain these.

Bravo sir, well said.

Yes i agree. Also another obvious way they could have added in another source of umbrite is through fates with hyperconductive relic equipped, like how they did with alexandrite.

There is not point putting a million and one ways to get one half of the items needed when the other item can only be aquired one way.

I'm not saying I agree with what they're doing, but the main reason they do it is so people don't finish quickly. Outside of this relic step, there aren't too many long term goals in this patch, really.

Not really the point. They preached on how many ways you can approach the content, but it is for the item that is ridiculously easy to get. The only real grinding part of this is umbrite. This is where variety needed to be placed. Could of balanced it to work with that. The point is they need to have you engaging multiple content for umbrite, not just sands.

[Felis]

Treasure maps
Roulettes
Contents outside of Roulette
In short everything that give you the 2nd best tome

What is missing is a 100% chance of umbrite from a treasure map that you get from a daily expert roulette quest.

yup 24/240, Umbrite is definitely the problem. it's so boring to just grind Esos, not going to do it, i'll get it when i get it.

[AlphaFox]

What I find kinda funny is didn't they say we would have multiple ways to complete this but in the end its just a bunch of trash like moonstones or items that I do not see people turning in like Demimateria 2/3. Yet in the end, only ONE way to get a mandatory items meaning you really have no option for half of it. I dunno I just kinda feel like that was a loophole they pulled on us.
